THE ROBINS ARE HEARD AGAIN

Fine February Weather Brings Out ' the Spring Songsters. Wednesday was perhaps the most beautiful, as well as almost the warmest, day we have had this winter. At noon the mercury registered 50 degrees in the shade, and the greater part of the day was bright and pleasant. A few people report having seen robins during the day. A regular “April shower” came early Thursday morning, after which the skies cleared and the day was even warmer than Wednesday, the mercury registering 55 in the shade at noon. The open winter seems to be quite general throughout the country, very * little snow or cold weather being reported any place. It is probable we will "have to pay” for this later on, perhaps at a season when we should be getting warm weather, but it is certainly quite enjoyable and no one this year envies the people who went south to escape the rigor of our northern winters.
